[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a language arts equivalent for error analysis? DD is already in 3rd grade advanced math, didn't get in AAP for second time trying. Going to try appeal. Trying to think of all the creative little projects she creates at home with paper.

I'm also amazed at the things she creates in Minecraft. We only just bought an iPad for her to use when we let her, and she loves building houses and whatever other creative structures. But I'm not sure the panel would be interested in or impressed by digital samples.[/quote]

Not that I could find that would show the right kind of skills. I'm also a secondary math teacher, so that's more my skill set.

As far as Minecraft - my older kid did a block (scratch) coding class where she designed something. I took screenshots of her work and submitted with the math work to show logical reasoning.

Caveat - this is what I did for two kids. One of was a really strong candidate on paper (test scores, GBRS/HOPE, report cards). Other had mixed/lower test scores, good report card and GBRS/HOPE.  Both had strong school-provided work samples and both teachers had verbally said they were strong students, above others. [/quote]
